OSN devices currently spend an awful long time in qeth_l2_set_online() until various unsupported HW cmds time out. This has been broken for over two years, ever since commitd22ffb5a71("s390/qeth: fix IPA command submission race") triggered a FW bug in cmd processing. Prior to commit782e4a7921("s390/qeth: don't poll for cmd IO completion"), this wait for timeout would have even been spent busy-polling. The offending patch was picked up by stable and all relevant distros, and yet noone noticed. OSN setups only ever worked in combination with an out-of-tree blob, and the last machine that even offered HW with OSN support was released back in 2015. Rather than attempting to work-around this FW issue for no actual gain, add a deprecation warning so anyone who still wants to maintain this part of the code can speak up. Else rip it all out in 2021. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
